Normative qVOMS (Study Using Healthy Volunteers to Improve Concussion Diagnostics)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to collect information about the speeds of eye and head movements in healthy children and young adults. This information will help us establish normal values related to these movement speeds and patterns. If we have a measure of what is normal, this will help us determine the severity of symptoms or injury for people who are treated for concussions.

What is Involved?

If you choose to join this study, you will make 1 visit to our clinic that will last about 10 minutes. During this visit, we will have you perform a series of 4 tests. Each test will last about 10 seconds. Among other measures, the tests will record how quickly your eyes can pick up different visual targets and how well your eyes can stay focused on a visual target while you move your head in different directions.
